In theory yes, but some AROS dev, which has knowledge of the build system, should take a look.

Anyway, Windows 10 now has support for the Linux user-land (the so called "bash": it installs a complete Ubuntu or OpenSUSE user-land subsystem), so it's also possible to develop AROS the same as on Linux.

The "problem" is that Windows developers like to use Windows tools, with Visual Studio on top, of course.

As a plus, now there's also Visual Studio Code which is a much lighter IDE with nice extensions. This is multi-platform. But the quality is not comparable to Visual Studio, of course.

If the current FPGA is too small, then avoid wasting a lot of resources with a big and wide registers file (128 64-bit registers) and alien (to the Amiga plaform) features like AMMX, 64-bits, Hyperthreading, which waste resources, and better dedicate them to a 68060-compliant FPU.Quote:

Wont an upgrade to a larger FPGA accomodate that?

They can use a bigger FPGA for the standalone board, which has nothing and everything should be created from scratch.

But an Amiga 500/600 and especially an Amiga 1200 have already the chipset available. Here a real accelerator is more useful to take advantage of the existing software.Quote:

As I've already said, that's a lame excuse: you don't need ad-hoc software to use the Super-Scalar FPU.

Such FPU, which seems to be 68060-compatible, should be already able to execute existing software which uses an FPU.

Of course, not at full speed, but WAYYYY better than the SoftFPU.Quote:

As I wrote... Gunnar could and should communicate the goals of the project and current situation

They communicate better than many others but there is still room for improvement. You would need something for people that are not there f.e. lack of time like a blog

Actually I think that they won the award for the worse communication ever. Not even Hyperion did this mess.Quote:

Yes it is sold as it is but if you understand the main goals you understand priorities and why they do this or that. If main goal would just be to offer just a new accellerator with compatibility as main goal then decisions would be different. Obviously some people just wanted that.

They are accelerators: they are published and sold as accelerators. FPU included.

Their "main" goals aren't understandable. At least not as common-sense would suggest.

I've already exposed much better & useful roadmaps/goals: what do you think that it's wrong with them?
